Annual Report 2017-2018

We are very pleased to present the 2017-2018 Annual Report for CargoM, the Logistics and Transportation Metropolitan Cluster of Montreal. The year 2018 will be marked by celebrations. CargoM will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the start of its work, a milestone for our Cluster, which has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the activities of the Greater Montreal hub. It would appear that CargoM has fulfilled its mission of bringing together community stakeholders around common objectives and concerted actions, gaining special recognition along the way from the transportation and logistics sector. Head to page 18 of this report for a review, in photos, of the key events of our early years. We are overjoyed with the 2017-2018 report, characterized by fluidity, economic development and outreach! These words express the objectives of the Cluster and support the positioning of Greater Montreal as a cargo transport hub and gateway to North America. Our Cluster makes the economic development of Greater Montreal a priority for the coming years. In recent months, we had the opportunity to meet with several foreign organizations to discuss logistics and transportation issues around the world. We followed through on these exchanges by presenting our hub’s many advantages at world-class conferences such as Cargo Logistics Canada, by hosting delegations and by participating in workshops organized to develop international expertise and relationships. This year, CargoM had a chance to meet experts from Germany, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom and the United States.
